Hello, I am sorry I do not speak English I use a translator.
I concerns is; I have Spirit (red and black), I went up on a copter with an ESC DC 160 HV, the controller and the module are recognized by the radio JETI DC 16, the telemetry does not work, just the % of vibrations.

Hello,

do you have CC Telem cable?

Please check this guide:
http://manual.spirit-system.com/index.p ... _Telemetry

There you can see all steps that are needed to make it work.

Thank you for this fast answer, everything was make as on the link, but there is no telemetry, the resistance of 10k was welded.
THE ESC is recognized, and works, when I put the son with resistance if I cut the RX without removing lipos, the engine turns(shoots) 2 seconds.

So the ESC is working also with modified cable (with 10kOhm resistor) - you can control the throttle, right?

It is important that it is working well.

Can you tell me what ESC do you exactly have?

Mode 1 gaz à droite
ESC castle créations Phenix edge HV 160
Even with cable him 10k the ESC does not arm itself, orders it gases is settled in at the end of race 87 % 99 %.

Did you configured Throttle Range according the manual?

See this page:
http://manual.spirit-system.com/index.p ... Castle_ESC

If not, then ESC will not initialize at all. Castle ESCs require different throttle range than other ESCs.

Also please note, that with Link-Live feature in the ESC it can work only with 10KOhm resistor.

Gaz +100% - 100%

test A:
ESC > link live = disabled
no R10K
Spirit > telemetrie setting = Disabled
Jeti > Spirit > télémétrie setting > Disabled
moteur Ok
I have branch White wire RPM output Signal (PIT pine), return on screen JETI > RPM = 0

test B:
ESC > link live = enabled
R10K Between + and signal
Spirit > telemetry setting = Castle créations & Talon
Jeti > Spirit > télémétrie setting > Castle création & Talon
moteur Not Ok Not initialized

I have redo test with an ESC PHOENIX EDGE 120 HV, test A or B identical results

Thank you for the details.

Do you use an external BEC?
Unfortunately the only problem that I am thinking about is in the cable with 10kOhm resistor.

Did you tried it with your other unit too?

Thank you to take into account my concerns.
No I use 2 lipos batteries with an electronic inter.
I commanded you a cordon R10k in the doubt of my cordon but I think of being on my assembly.
I have to receive ASAP
With the ESC 120 or 160 identical results.

Assembly prototype, negative result, the ESC does not arm, the engine does not work.
